Haven't had it since being sick Lyn, but always hated it when well left such a nasty taste....the good thing is you can spit it out at any sign of issues and rinse and spit heavily if necessary. Maybe you could arrange to try a small amount first and see instead of the full load.

I would at least premedicate with antihistamines. The dentist is a hurdle I have yet to face.

Good luck!

My dentist has switched over to this new fluoride treatment that they claim is so much easier for people to tolerate (and it is easier for kids, I'm guessing).  Rather than let your teeth soak in the nasty stuff, they paint it onto your teeth and it dries quickly, and you have to not eat or drink anything hot or hard for some number of hours.

I got amazingly nauseous from this stuff.  It gave off a strong chemical odor that I just couldn't tolerate - it reminded me of model airplane glue.  My husband didn't have any issues with it, but my super-sensitive nose/mouth thought it was horrible and it made me feel awful.  This was a few years ago, and I haven't gotten it since.  I can't go back to the old stuff because they don't even use it any more (it used to turn my stomach as well).  My dentist doesn't have an issue with my not getting the treatment, since my teeth are in good shape otherwise and I use fluoride toothpaste.

Thanks Kat and Pam.  This is exactly the information I was looking for! Fugured it was high in sals....  

I may smell it, then tell them I won't tolerate it.  I am seeing a new dentist, so this should be interesting!

Pam's is right high salcylates, since I got masto I did first couple of times & I got so nausaous that I couldn't eat for rest of day. So  they now have it on my chart. But the painting the teeth, which my dentist doesn't do might not be so bad& worth considering.
